"SnapStart for Python" costs extra though. If we are paying then you can even have prewarmed Python lambdas with no cold start on AWS (Provisioned Concurrency).
Unless I misunderstand, AWS SnapStart and their memory snapshots are the same feature (taking memory snapshots to speed up cold start). It doesn't seem a fair comparison to ignore this and my assumption is because AWS Lambda SnapStart is faster.
It wasn't an intentional omission, we weren't aware of this feature in AWS Lambda. The blog post has been updated to reflect that the numbers are for Lambda without SnapStart enabled.
Python Workers use snapshots by default and unlike SnapStart we don't charge extra for it. For many use cases, you can run Python Workers completely for free on our platform and benefit from the faster cold starts.
That's true. I'll say this though: my social life skyrocketed thanks to Facebook when I was ~18. Not sure what kind of impact it would have had earlier, I was def. more of a kid and social medias were not a thing anyway. Makes sense to me to have an age limit considering cyber bullying and teen suicides and all.
Facebook then wasn't what facebook is today. The social media of the early internet was largely a digital expansion of otherwise healthy social norms. Then the internet blew up. Now it's more akin to the drug dealers DARE warned us about. Still waiting on _those_ free drugs, tbh.
Social media is no longer social - it's just media. At least for most people anyway. The average user, and probably kids even more so, are just scrolling through.
If you're posting as well, or at least commenting on stuff and having discussions with people you know (even if you just know them online), I think that's fine. Like forums, or being in group chats with friends on Facebook, or sharing photos you take with a specific community.
It's when you're only consuming (like scrolling TikTok or Instagram), or when your comments are written for the algorithm rather than for actual discussion (like on Reddit, or even Hackernews to an extent), that social media is an issue.
What year was it when you were 18? Facebook was enormous for me when I was 18, in 2008, for similar reasons. However, these days facebook is mostly just ads and generic modern feed garbage content in general.
Key features that matter to me:
1) backup from android or iOS. This helps when I have switched phones over the years.
2) shared albums with family or friends where invited people can both see and contribute photos. Think kids albums, weddings, holidays.
3) ability to re-download at full resolution
1) You don't have backups of other data on your phone (chat history, 2FA secrets and private keys, text notes, anki cards, game progress, configuration of all apps, etc.)? I had assumed everyone who cares about their data has backups of their data anyway, so that's not really a selling point to install another app for
2) that's nice!
3) "it doesn't throw my data away" is the last selling point?! Isn't that just assumed?!
1) I do have separate backups, as well as this, which runs more frequently (after picture is taken) vs daily for device backup
3) not compared to iCloud photos which I migrated from. You can export a whole album with Google at original quality with 1 click. With Apple you can only do 1000 at a time. For apple you can ask for a whole account export, but that takes a few days and gives you all photos. (Similar to Google Takeout).
The backup thing is really more than just backing it up. I take a picture, and it’s nearly immediately available in the same way across all my devices and the web. I can search for “pizza” on the web app and see any picture of pizza I ever took. On a different or new device I’ll immediately have access to the whole library with no set up.
Indeed. It's very cheap ($5?) and is fast enough to do 1080p YouTube with unlimited data. It's speed capped so if you really need it it's best to upgrade the plan that month.
I thought so. I saw it a while ago when I re-working my network but didn't get it because I have 2TB of data on my phone that I can connect to my router should my internet go down. It's only a 250Mbps(down)/40Mbps(up) connection but that will do for a couple of days or so.
I am cautiously optimistic that this means even if thousands of these devices suddenly "light up" in an outage, the infrastructure should be able to handle them, right? Thoughts?
I for one think this is a great marketing opportunity. Even if you have the best gigabit fiber, at five dollars a month, this is a no brainer for a lot of people. If you can have monthly recurring revenue for starlink doing essentially nothing, why not? Also, it is probably easier to upsell to existing customers.
